Show entire command line, or the name of the executing vbscript 1

[ESquared]

I know how in vbscript to access the command-line parameters. But can I get the name of the running script, similar to the %0 parameter in a batch file?

Consider the following:

SomeExeWritingToStandardOut.exe | cscript.exe //Nologo myvbscript.vbs param1 param2 param3

param1 - 3 are easy. But can I get "myvbscript.vbs" inside of that script?

Even better, can I get access to the initiating command line in its entirety, so I can see cscript.exe and/or SomeExeWritingToStandardOut.Exe?

I thought perhaps there was an environment variable which listed the last executed command in that command window's context and there does not appear to be such a thing.

I read the titles of all the FAQs in this forum. I searched the internet and found a bazillion references to "parameters" but haven't figured out how to restrict my results to show me what I'm looking for.

To see the script name of the script running or it's path you can try something as simple as this.

WScript.Echo WScript.ScriptName
WScript.Echo WScript.ScriptFullName

To get the command line that executed you will need to query WMI using Win32_Process class (WinXP or greater only)

Option Explicit

Dim strComputer : strComputer = "."
Dim objWMIService : Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & _
						strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Dim colProcesses : Set colProcesses = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_Process Where Name='cscript.exe'")
Dim objProcess
For Each objProcess In colProcesses
	WScript.Echo objProcess.CommandLine
Next

Great information, thank you.

I was just coming back to post that I had found "WScript.ScriptFullName" so no one had to answer that part but you obviously are too good and too fast for me!

For anyone who similarly had problems finding info about scripting, here's a link to MSDN's Scripting Reference.
